OR maybe even better -

*** Flying Shares *** - Why not fly in a brand new Ikarus with state of the art instrumentation for $25,000 and let somebody else take care of it? That makes a lot more sense than buying or keeping a 50 year old plane for the same price! No muss, no fuss and all the flying time you could ever use! Contact us for more information.

***Partnerships*** - We have a number of people also interested in owning an airplane with a partner. Let us know if you would like to explore this idea further and be added to our list.

Discovery Flights

Let us take you on a memorable flight over your house or low along the beach. Come out early to see the morning mist rise on the fields or stick around until evening to watch a majestic sunset from the air. Anytime is the right time. And even better, surprise someone special with a unique gift of flight!

If you have always wanted to fly yourself - now is the time to let that dream take wings! Come see us for an Introductory Flight to get a chance to take control yourself and decide if you are ready for a new adventure.

Airplane Maintenance and Inspection

Canadian Ultralights are owner maintained but we would be glad to help you fix a problem, perform some maintenance or lend a hand with your annual inspections. And if you need a special tool, we can rent you one of those too!

Aviation Products and Spares

We can quickly get parts for our Ikarus aircraft and Rotax engines.

We are a distributor for the Dynon line of advanced avionics for non-certified aircraft and can recommend components for a panel that fits both your dreams and your budget.

WAIT - Why an Ultralight/LSA?

1) ADVANCED: The Ikarus C42 is classified in Canada as an "Advanced Ultralight" or in the United States as a "Light Sport Aircraft (LSA)". That means you can still carry passengers, fly without a helmet, fly into most airports (Transponder required for Class C Control Zones) and even fly it across the border. The C42 has an extremely reliable 4 stroke engine, has a fully enclosed cockpit with a full panel of gauges and cruises at a speedy 100 knots (similar to a lot of smaller certified airplanes).

2) CHEAPER TO PURCHASE: Ultralights (like many things) vary in price range. Obviously new planes cost more than old ones but even a brand new Ikarus C42 is often cheaper to purchase then all but the very basic, or very old certified airplane.

3) CHEAPER TO OPERATE: Most Ultralights, including the Ikarus C42, burn automotive gas versus high priced aviation fuel. Even burning Premium Gasoline, you are still easily saving around $10 or more per hour of flying. That starts to add up quickly!

4) CHEAPER TO MAINTAIN: Ultralights are owner maintained. If you are competent enough to obtain a pilot's license, then you are probably competent to maintain your own airplane. Doing even the minimum basic work yourself (oil changes, regular inspections, minor adjustments, etc) on your C42 Ultralight can save a lot versus paying a certified aircraft mechanic's high rates.

5) SAFER: Advanced Ultralights, especially one as well built as the Ikarus C42, are extremely safe. With a landing speed under 40 mph, even an emergency landing with an engine out is a non-event. In fact, in the five years between 1997-2001, fatal accidents for ALL Ultralights registered in Canada were less than 0.12% per year while the standard Cessna 172 was 0.18% per year and the Piper PA-18 was 0.25% per year. For extra safety, full plane parachutes are an easily added option on the Ikarus C42.
